Great Canal Journeys

The Llangollen Canal (1x3)

Air date: Mar 24, 2014

This third canal journey takes Pru and Tim back to their honeymoon destination, Llangollen, in north Wales. They cross from Shropshire, via the Llangollen canal - one of the most picturesque canal journeys in the world. The trip includes the mystical hills of the Vale of Llangollen and the extraordinary Pontcysyllte aqueduct, the longest and highest aqueduct in Britain, and no place for the feint hearted. The couple also take a detour on the Montgomery canal, once an industrial thoroughfare, now an area of outstanding natural beauty. Tim visits the Llangollen steam railway and they travel on a horse-drawn barge up to the famous Horseshoe Falls.
